International Day of People with Disabilities toolkit

As 3 December approaches, we're calling for a world where no one is left behind.

Disability rights are human rights

Monday, Joy and Nicodemus and others want to live in a world where people with disabilities have the same access to health, education, work and political participation as everybody else. What about you?

 

Join our calls for disability rights to be upheld or tell us what inclusion means to you during the week of International Day of People with Disabilities (28 November to 4 December 2022).

Accessibility tips

Get the biggest reach possible

  1. Use Twitter’s descriptive text functionality to describe images for people who are visually impaired.
  2. Keep links in full rather than scrambling them with a link shortener, so that users know where they are being directed to.
  3. If using video content with audio, add subtitles so that the video can be understood without sound.
